Had my shower this past weekend, too!! But sadness prevailed!

hey ladies,

i've missed you guys. the last few weeks have been crazy. i was in AZ last sunday - thursday and this past sunday was my shower.

when i walked in i could tell right away something was wrong with my grandma. she has been sick for awhile but she really didn't look good and was complaining about tightness around her chest. she wouldn't go in an ambulance, so we had to call my dad, grandfather and brother to come get her and bring her to the hospital. apparently she had another stroke the day before and this time the doctors say she can't go home, my parents are looking into assisted living as we speak.

it breaks my heart - my other grandmother has been in a nursing home for almost a year with severe alzheimers, so i knew in my heart she wouldn't be able to make the wedding. now my other grandmother can't make it either.

knowing that grandma would have wanted the shower to go on, everyone did their best to cheer me up (at that point we didn't know how severe grandma was, we just knew her blood pressure was over 200). the shower was at molly mallone's right by the docks for the FI ferries. my girls did a great job and the food was good, but my heart wasn't really into it. i feel worse for my mom, who knew i was already heartbroken by my other grandmother being unable to attend.

all in all, my shower was a sad day.
